21And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
22And Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and made him more angry than their fathers had done by their sins.
23For they made high places and upright stones and wood pillars on every high hill and under every green tree;
24And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
25Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
26And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
27So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
